Creating Earnings Advance and Recovery

Some earnings are loans or advances; therefore, when they are paid, the system must automatically create a deduction that is processed over subsequent pay runs, recovering the loan or advance.

The PeopleSoft system provides the following elements, accumulators, formula, and generation control to demonstrate this:
